They were being asked various questions by Ryan like "who would you be most likely to go to with a problem", "who would you most likely set up with your best friend" and "which contestant were you most worried about competing against." Those are the only questions that come to mind right now.

Did anyone besides me think that Leah Labelle sounded really good in Ain't No Mountain High Enough? Plus she looks great, especially the hair!

Btw, anyone else notice Fantasia taking the basket at the end as her gift?

Yeah I thought Leah sounded really good, she had a lot of time to practice, to bad she's not going on the tour. Now although Camile sounded not that great, I still like her for some eason. (could it be her walking on the beach in that bikini???) and I still think one day she will be very good.
Yeah Diana got the BoBo down, but Jasmin, OMG!!!!, She needs to just not dance and be hot like she is, she will be fine.

I agree. Both the gay Matt joke and the short Simon routine came off as really stupid and desperate attempt at humour and getting attention. Matt didn't seem to find it particularly amusing. And it really didn't seem smart for a short guy like JPL to make fun of somebody's height. The first thing I thought was, hey what about you! At least, Latoya called him out on interrupting her to make his pre-planned jokes. (He did sound better than usual singing, though.) But like Kitsch said, no need to take it too seriously. I'm sure he's a good kid. It's just our job to hyper-analyze around here.

Mwah! BobDob"

I thought the Simon joke JPL made was pretty funny. And obviously JPL knows he's short. It's not a mystery to him or anyone anywhere, so if anyone could be making a joke about height-- it might as well be JPL. Pot? Meet kettle.

I thought, all in all, the kids were pretty darn cute and seemed to genuinely like each other. And it didn't seem as thought any of them were at all bothered by the ribbing that went on. They're just goofing around...it just happens to be on TV.
